Brewing some Great Beer up North!! I am enjoying brewing my own beer and am trying to master all grain techniques favoring Pale and Brown Ales, Stouts and Old Ales. I look forward to brewing some of the recipes I have seen on here and coming up with some good ones myself. I encourage any comments good or bad as it is my goal to become a great brewer!

This recipe comes from Lil' Sparky on Homebrew Talk. Saw it and had to add it here. Thanks Lil' Sparky!! Brew Day Change: I substituted Abbey for Victory Malt in same amount...didn't want to change Sparky's recipe as it has won numerous awards and should be brewed using the ingredients below.

Making this based on ingredients on hand. Named after last nights full moon which has been given several names over hundreds of years that include Full Sturgeon Moon, the Full Red Moon, the Green Corn Moon and the Grain Moon....Full Blue Moon was added to the list of names last night. Grain Moon was one that we liked. The chocolate malt is a crisp pale chocolate coming in at just 250L. Would work as an American Brown Ale, Robust Porter, Foreign Extra Stout or an American Stout according to
